“I worked a whole season at a resort wearing these. The glacier glasses transition lenses work great. They’re also very nice for uphill travel. Only caveat with them is they’re not great for blizzards but you should be wearing goggles then anyway.
Also a lot of glasses are too small on my face, but these fit great.”
“I love these glasses for spring skiing and skimo when you don’t need goggles. The coverage is excellent and they are great for cloudy conditions to full sun. I often find myself wearing them in variable light conditions at the ski hill as well due to how well they adapt to the changing light conditions.”

“I have been skiing ~15 times a season for the past 5-6 years. I have NEVER not had fogging issues of some kind. Ive tried different brands, helmet/ goggle combos, anti fog, multiple lenses, etc. My friends tell me i run extremely hot and produce a lot of steam, and nothing has been able to compensate until these glasses. Ive skied with them in multiple conditions, and have had 0 issues. I have managed to fog them up standing in the lift line after a hard run, but a quick wipe with the included bag (i know this is a sin for goggles, but it works for me with these!) and they clear up and remain clear while air is moving and i am not a human sauna.
Long story short, if you are like me and have not been able to solve your fogging goggle issues, I cannot recommend these glasses enough. They protect from the wind enough to get some serious speed, on top of all the other great features (lens quality, build quality, etc). I will never go back to goggles, and wish these existed years ago!”
“I love Cody. I love sunglasses. I love Smith sunglasses. Unfortunately, these just didn't fit. I am an average sized woman (5'6'' 140lb) and hoped these would be my one stop shop for climbing and backcountry skiing and was looking forward to the photochromatic lenses and the wide field of view. The Pursuits would literally fall off my face onto the ground when I looked down unless I had them secured with a headband or my helmet. I wore them once on a Baker climb and decided that the risk of losing your glasses was just too high to continue doing so. I did love the huge field of view and the photochromatic lenses were incredible - just the fit was so off for someone who is smaller or femme. If Smith made another, smaller version, I would buy those in a heartbeat.”

“The vision through the lenses of the Pursuit glasses is brilliant. I also deeply appreciate the wide range of light (brilliant sun to flat light to near white-out) for which the glasses work superbly well. Because these are glasses and not googles, despite the side shields, the glasses do not keep out wind blown snow and heavy snow fall. I need to bring my googles with me if snow and wind are likely or possible in the mountains. The nose piece seems to fall off a bit easily unless the glasses are handled gently when putting them on, taking them off or stowing them.”

“I love these sunglasses! They're just what I need for riding my bike, getting outside and, as a volunteer firefighter, they're a beast on the fire ground. Looking forward to taking them splitboarding this upcoming winter!”

“Big SMITH fan! These are the best glasses I have purchased yet. Really like the magnetic side wings and the optional nose piece. The photochromatic lens is great in all conditions. I ski with these on a daily routine”

“On top of all the features these offer, I am seriously impressed with the light->dark range the photochromic lens can cover. Hands down the best backcountry sunglasses.”
